    Severity: Minor

    Type: HV/SV fixed weapon targeting

    Summary: If you place window blocks more than one or two spaces in front of Cockpit 2 (Open) you cannot correctly fire fixed weapons

    Description:
    There seems to be a targeting issue when windows are placed in front of cockpit 2 (open). If a window is placed in the space just in front of the cockpit seat you can fire fixed weapons normally. If you move the window any further out the crosshair seems to target the window itself, causing the fixed weapons to malfunction and consume ammo while not actually firing any projectiles. Cockpit 1 (open) does not manifest this issue.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Start a creative scenario
    2. Load the attached epb "SV Open Cockpit Gat Bug" and add 15mm ammo to the controller
    3. Sit in the green cockpit seat and fire the gats. It will function correctly.
    4. Sit in the red cockpit seat and fire the gats. You will see the ammo being consumed, but no rounds will visibly fire.
    5. Remove the red window and fire again from the red seat. The weapon will fire correctly.
    Screenshots / Videos:

    Test rig. Green cockpit fires correctly. Red does not.

    I can confirm this is still an issue with Build 1.10.4 4243.

    Another indication that I have found is that the aiming reticle will flash with a yellow square indicator and the "Currently Occupied" message will flash on the screen. Sometimes restarting the game will solve the issue, sometimes it does not...

    I've experienced this, or at least a similar bug, several times. I made a video using a workshop SV anyone can subscribe to, so you should be able to reproduce this. I suspect the gats in the OP's experiment actually are firing, but they are firing at an extreme inward angle so that you cannot see they are firing from the cockpit. In the video I explain why I think this is happening. But you might be able to see it from outside the cockpit if you have a second person helping you. In the video, I demonstrate what I think is the same bug with plasma cannons which you can clearly see from the cockpit.

    My build is: 20921746.
